2016 Trek Slash 9.9 27.5

You're looking at a machine built to crush Enduro World Series courses as well as your local loops, Trek's sleek, low, aggressive, 160mm-travel Slash 9.9 27.5. Weighing in around 27 pounds, Trek's carbon wunderbike handles long, brutal transfer stages and once at the top, absolutely demolishes borderline full-on downhill tracks. It gets it done with Full Floater and ABP rear suspensions, resulting in an enduro sled with the chops of a freeride rig and the efficiency of a trail bike. The 160mm 36 Talas fork drops to 120mm for long climbs, and the Monarch Plus RC3 DebonAir out back keeps you tracking with 160mm through the nasty stuff. The rest of the specs are as focused with tubeless-ready Bontrager 27.5-inch wheels, 1x11 XTR gears, XTR Trail discs, and a carbon bar. You also get a Reverb Stealth dropper post so you never stop the flow.
